    About Kari K.

    *** Travel Equipment *** The student must have his/her own instrument to practice upon, they must purchase the books/music that I require them to work on, must have a 3-ring binder, and access to the internet where they can look up their lesson history would be preferable. *** Specialties *** For strings I am an excellent Suzuki teacher. As for singing lessons, I will definitely work with a student to fit his/her needs and interests. When it comes to piano, I like to screen students to see what method of learning they would take to the best. I don't believe in sticking to one method of teaching for every single student.
